Just something I made to introduce myself to Markov Chains. The actual algorithm should work well for any sort of title, so I generalized that bit into a library (javascript): https://github.com/namuol/titlegen

Somebody should tell Japan's Leaders that you're only allowed to rewrite history when you win the war.

I like to cut noise out from my code, but I've never understood "distraction free" modes in code editors. If you're trying to be productive, you should be regularly checking the results of your code changes (i.e. watchin

But obscurity isn't the enemy of secure crytpo; it's just not the solution to it. Assuming the enemy "already knows the system" is fine, but that doesn't mean obscurity itself somehow reduces security... I know th

There are plenty of finished space-exploration games with very similar scope. The Frontier series, for instance, featured a life-scale galaxy with seamless planet landing, each one entirely unique. It was released in 1993, and we're mu

How can you even begin to judge the gameplay from the teaser video?

I'm always happy to see more space exploration sims.

Observation: the intricacies of our technologies are growing to such complexity that analysis of the things we once had a direct hand in the design of plays out much like the analysis of some sort of mysterious natural phenomenon.

Just once I'd like to see a site with a horizontal scroll that doesn't just assume I'm using an Apple device.

Fun! A bit easy though. I had a flawless run. Maybe try reducing the timer? Or perhaps a game-mode that runs until you choose incorrectly?

As poorly as Joyent may have responded, and as badly they might have misunderstood this entire situation, I am convinced that everyone involved here (on both sides) had nothing but good intentions, and that until we acknowledge these things

Pretty sure we need laws that protect this information from predators.

I like how the video gives us the heads-up about how easy it is to accidentally hang up on your mother.

One of my favorite tricks is how naturally mixins can be implemented (scroll to the bottom): http://arcturo.github.io/library/coffeescript/03_classes.htm...

Good idea; I'd incorporate your changes but I'm trying to keep it dependency-free, for now. I could support '#id' without any dependencies pretty easily, though...

Welp. I wouldn't have made cheet.js if I knew about Mousetrap. Oh well, it was just a fun one-night project anyway. :)

I would've called it cheat.js but there was at least one other library out there with the name. Also, it's a surprisingly-SFW Urban Dictionary term that I find amusing: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?ter

I never disagreed that the overall quality of the code has gone down; I meant to suggest that such an observation misses the point. Open Source is now much more accessible , and I think that's a good thing. It used to be that if you w

The data on a magstripe is just that: data. I'm suggesting that digital services could offer you a digital "magstripe" without the need to ship cards.

Since when were bureaucratized quality standards part of Open Source? --- "GitHub optimized being lazy" -- translation: GitHub enabled more people to get involved with Open Source. There are no-fewer quality-obsessed developers pa
